      Was it good advice? I said then & still say it was not. This is a natural & foreseeable consequence. We all take responsibility for what if people did what we advocated.

      But, Dan, there's far more evidence of people of good will and expertise who DID go to work for Trump -- and eventually got driven out. Trump talks "two-way street"? THAT's the two-way street.

      Do you assume that anyone whose tenure in office is impermament did no good?

      Oh my God. Dan. Sure, Marie Yovanovich did some good. Until Trump found her.

      So, we are worse off for her having been in the job? That's the question.

      Replying to @baseballcrank @RadioFreeTom @SykesCharlie

      Of course not. But you're gaslighting by saying that the current situation is exacerbated by those who encouraged competent people not to work for Trump -- when there is FAR more evidence that, if they were competent, they would likely not still be there now anyway.

      My argument is straightforward: telling good people who would otherwise take those jobs not to take them is bad & makes things worse. You disagree?

      I think you all are correct, especially when you pound tables.
